Don’t tell me that, as a kid, you didn’t enjoy eating bowls of plain whipped cream.
What? You didn’t? It was just me?
Especially around Thanksgiving, I could’ve done without the pies. Just give me the heavy cream and nobody’d get hurt. Therefore, I am head-over-heels in love with this recipe. It’s light, airy, and… creamy!
It’s the perfect substitute for heavy cream on top of pie, ice cream, or a parfait.
You can even try this in the Voluminous Oatmeal Recipe.
Or just eat the entire bowl straight-up, as I like to do!
Soy-Free Vegan Cream
(Makes 1 1/2 cups: one Katie-sized serving!)
- sweetener of choice
- 1/16th tsp salt
- 1 1/2 T water (20g)
- 1/2 serving agar base (see below)
- 3 drops coconut extract (Optional, but highly recommended)
- optional: cocoa or fruit (for flavored cream)
Instructions: First, make up the agar base. When it’s cooled, put half of it in a blender (or Magic Bullet) with all the other ingredients and blend away. Whip very well. I like to put it in the freezer for a few minutes prior to eating, so it’s super-cold. Optional: add fruit, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, or other add-ins.

Want a version without agar? Try this: Coconut Cool Whip.
Uses for the Vegan Cream: Pour over berries, pie (pumpkin pie?!), waffles, or you can even eat it plain.
Or try it over pancakes, such as my Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes.

If I won the Magic Bullet, I would use it to make smoothies 🙂 and also to blend up frozen bananas and peanut butter into a lovely “ice creamy” treat!
If I win the Magic Bullet I will make this recipe in it! I will also make my post-workout smoothies in it. Yum!
Umm, I will DEFINITELY be making some Fudge Babies with that Magic Bullet! They’re too hard to make in my Vita because it’s so big. 😛 I also will blend up my oatmeal with the MB. 😀
I followed you. 🙂
Oh Magic Bullet….how I have coveted thee!! The infomercial never ceases to draw me in no matter how many times I’ve watched it! There are so many things I would make–from homemade salad dressings to green smoothies to your delicious pumpkin cream mousse!
I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
I would make nut butter in a Magic Bullet! I’ve done some “experimenting” with my VitaMix, but the square-ish shape of the container just does NOT make nut butter-making very easy! 🙂 I’ve never used a Magic Bullet but from what I know, they are round, so it would be easier to make nut butter and even fudge babies!
I would make vegan cream, larabars, and some single serve muffins. I have been dying for a Magic Bullet to try your amazing recipes!
I just discovered your site a few days ago, and I LOVE it! I usually just buy similar products to the ones that you make, but your recipes are so easy 🙂
Anyway, I would use the magic bullet for the banana/pb mixture…I love both foods so much!
I would use the magic bullet to make the pumpkin cream you just posted today! Yum!
I’d LOVE to win the magic bullet!!! I’d make some of your yummy whipped topping, fruit smoothies, and green smoothies. Shoot! I’d go online and find a new recipe every day for my magic bullet…if I won one 🙂

i’d use a magic bullet to make soups, or try a homemade lara bar! those things are tasty but so expensive
This sounds so good. I must get agar agar flakes at wf’s today. I want to try the agar pudding idea… I usually just make tofu pudding. I really want a magic bullet, sometimes I just don’t want to clean the food processor!
If I win, I will use the magic bullet to try making “babies” – these look so good, in so many variations, but I do not currently have the equipment to try them! 🙂
I would use the MB to make banana/peanutbutter mixture, and to puree bananas for my oatmeal. I would also be able to make smaller amounts of fudge babies. I tend to make a big batch in the food processor because it’s big, and then I eat them all in a day or two. Not the best idea…
i would definitely make banana soft serve – my little blender just doesn’t have the power to do it!
I would make fresh strawberry juice 🙂
